Netamo introduced Healthy Home Coach to make sure your home have necessary healthy environment for living. Healthy Home Coach monitor’s basic parameters - air quality level, humidity, temperature and noise. If you even wondered why you have a head ache or why you feel down a little, air quality along with humidity is probably the answer. When these essential features are not monitored and reported, we never know how healthy the environment in our home is.

We spend lots of time at home and want to make sure that the conditions around are healthy and fit our lifestyle. Healthy Home Coach offers advice on how to manage your home environment, in case of danger like high temperature or concentration of CO2 it alerts about the conditions.

Netatmo Healthy Home Coach works via special application which reports about all changes that are happening at home. The best thing it can store the information so you can check what conditions you had few hours ago or few months ago. The design is elegant and stylish, made of aluminum Healthy Home Coach easily compliment any home’s decor. I wish more colors come up for the device in the future.

There are various modes you can choose from for the monitor to track the vitals at home. It depends on having a baby, being asthmatic and other one. You can change the mode and you can see that if you switch from regular setting to asthmatic then the requirements for healthy environment change too. You probably get your “Excellent” changed to “Fair”, what means you need to ventilate the room and pay more attention to air quality.

Healthy Home Coach is very useful for families with babies and toddlers as they cannot balance their temperature, little kids cannot even say about that. Sometimes temperature seems perfect for adults, might be not right for little babies. And Healthy Home Coach lets you know about that.

For kids studying at home or people working from home, Netatmo Healthy Home Coach can be a good indicator if they have healthy environment or need change something for better. Since their work and study require concentration and focus, air quality & noise should be at the appropriate level.

Our grandparents found Netatmo Healthy Home Coach very useful. The seniors usually spend lots of time at home and they are very sensitive to the changes in temperature and humidity as it can cause high blood pressure and overall health. Healthy Home Coach tells them what need to be changed to keep home environment stable.

If you want to monitor all the rooms in the house you need to have Netatmo Healthy Home Coach in every room. It can be pricey since one Coach costs $119.00. It comes with free app and this app can monitor all the rooms.

December is a wonderful month of the year! It is filled with holidays, festivities, gatherings and winter activities. Just before Christmas, only few Saturdays in December, Black Creek Pioneer Village hosts amazing Christmas by Lamplight event. The village invites to experience holiday festivities in the glow of candlelight. Black Creek transforms into 19th century Christmas village with holiday décor, live music and delicious food. Come and see how people celebrated holidays and entertained themselves during the times without TVs, Cable & Netflix.

Last week we had a chance to visit the village and join the Christmas by Lamplight activities. Lots of families joined the event, as there was something for everyone: kids, seniors and adults. We wandered across the village and visited many homes decorated for Christmas. In Fisherville Church we joined The Ambiance Singers and enjoyed holiday music and songs. The performers have really amazing voices and the program is made mostly of Christmas favorites to get you into holiday spirit. Teddy also joined singing Christmas Carols which took place in Half Way House. Music filled the village for the season; you can hear the songs and tunes across the streets. Ready to make a nice moves in Ballroom Dancing or watch a Christmas story, there are Tin Soldier, Rod Puppet Performance or all time favorite The Snow Queen Pantomime!

There are multiple workshops held at the Village. Teddy made a Scherenschnitte Christmas card by cutting papers and arranging symmetric design.
We also had a chance to try various Christmas treats baked at the village. Mincemeat tarts and Roasted Chestnuts made outdoor were our favorites.

And what is the Christmas without Santa. Kids were in line there to talk to this season show maker. He was in Santa’s Cabin to greet families and wish them Happy Holidays. Teddy had a good conversation with Santa asking for a surprise gift as he tried so hard to be a good boy the whole year.

Christmas by Lamplight continues two more Saturdays, December 10 & 17, 2016 from 6:00 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. Do not miss an opportunity to join the magic and enjoy the glow of Christmas as if it was two decades back. The price range is $34.95- $29.95 for for adults, $29.95 - $24.95 for children plus HST, parking is extra.

Do not forget to stop by the Village Gift Shop, there are lots of unique items which make wonderful presents this holidays season. Plus for Lamplight event only, shoppers are offered %13 off of purchases.

If you ever dreamed to sing like a pro then there are a special set called SelfieMic. This is a relatively new set, a combination of selfie stick, microphone and a special recording and karaoke application.

SelfieMic comes as an adjustable selfie stick with karaoke microphone, earpiece and free StarMaker app. The app is easy to use once you install it; it offers various features from recording and sharing via social channels to karaoke and playing your creations.

You need to attach a smartphone and connect to the device. Once you are in, you get 1000 points to use the songs, though there are some free songs you can sing. The app features songs by Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran and more but you have to use points for them! It appears that Teddy does not know and never heard any free songs the app offers, so we started using our points right away.

The more you sing, more points you get. It is not the best scenario for our boy, as you have to sing around 20 songs to try a new one. Another option is to buy points to use towards the songs you like. Nevertheless, Teddy likes singing, entertaining us with his funny performances. He often does not read the lyrics and sing his own words just to have some fun. I think his elder cousins appreciated SelfieMic much more as it is a great opportunity to show their talents, record voice and make videos.

StarMaker app offers thousands of hit songs and it constantly updates the list. I think SelfieMic set is a nice combination of software and hardware (mic & selfie stick). You can always use them with latest on-line updates via app.

Available in a variety of stores, Toys R Us, Walmart, The Bay, Indigo, Michael’s, London Drugs, Home Hardware, Sears, Staples, Funky Toys, Red Apple and Showcase.

I never realized that a watch can change my life until I received a big, stylish and fancy watch from JORD Wood Watches. I have several pretty watches. They are all tiny, some decorated with gems. From the time my child was born I put everything aside because shine of gems did not fit my messy, sleepless lifestyle, plus dirty diapers and constant cleaning are not what watches designed for. Time passed and I found that I even forgot I have nice watches, the smartphone era changed everything.

I saw various wood watches designs on-line, they look amazing and I often ask if they are really made of wood. Recently I was offered to try one of the beautiful wood watches designed for women. From the variety of JORD Wood Watches I have chosen Frankie series watch. There was something magical in the name Frankie Dark Sandalwood & Smoke. It reminded me Time Itself from Alice Through The Looking Glass movie, giving a feeling that you wear the Time.

Last month I had lots of events and parties, my Frankie Dark Sandalwood & Smoke watch joined Dr. Strange and Fantastic Beasts screenings, Grey Cup party and various outings. Being on time became a habit, not sure why but I give all credits to my JORD Wood Watch. May be it is a large display or Roman numerals, but my watch is always with me and tells my story. Frankie Jord Wood watch is quite lightweight and can be adjusted based on your wrist. I received extra wooden links in my box.

Winter holidays are fast approaching, this time of the year we want to treat people surrounding us with unique and special gifts to show how important they are in our life. Jord Wood Watches make wonderful gift, their luxury design gives people trust and appreciation. It is the best way to show how valuable someone in your life giving them gift of time.
The selection of Jord Wood Watches is incredible. The materials, styles, colors and design can blow your mind. Hand-crafted wood timepieces tell a story. You can spend hours selecting your favorite shade or shape, so many watches to choose from.

Since JORD Watches made of wood, they require proper care and maintenance. Made of natural wood they can be your best friend and supporter for many years.

Little Live Pets Toys became very popular the last couple of years. The idea of having pet toys which almost imitate the behaviours of the animals is amazing. Last year we played with cute hamsters, mice and turtles. This year Little Live Pets introduced Lil' Frogs - A Frog with Lily Pad Habitat toy. This new toy carries the features of real frogs. It jumps and moves like real. The toy comes in a tank with a beautiful lilly pad. The pad floats on the water and a frog can swim in the water. Put the frog on a pad and watch how it starts jumping. When the frog senses water, it starts swimming!

Teddy spent much time playing with this frog. Though we have real pets, this frog makes a nice addition to our company of pets. Kids can play in children’s room or take it to bathroom to watch how a frog swims and jumps in water, totally fun! Teddy likes taking the frog everywhere, he does not like putting it into the tank. Our kid love watching the frog jumping around.

When Teddy saw how the frog moves and its behaviour, he wanted to learn more about it. Why it jumps like that, why it is near the water, what it eats and why it has legs that shape. It is a fun way to learn about frogs’ world. You can also combine plays with famous frog songs, kids love that.

Available in a variety of stores across Canada, Toys R Us, London Drugs and K.I.D Toys,Little Live Pets Toys make wonderful gifts this holiday season. Kids love playing with toys which act like real pets.

New animation movie Moana is opening today and I am glad to see how exciting people around the world about the release. The film tells the story about Moana, who from young age wants to explore the ocean and learn how to sail. Unfortunately her dad does not allow her to do so, as he cares about his daughter and does not want to lose her. As the girl grows, the results of past actions continue to pursuer the islands and almost reached the place where Moana lives with her family and her tribe. One day there is no choice for Moana other than to sail across the ocean and save save her people and everything around from disappearing. Brave teenage girl sails out to find the once-mighty demigod Maui who is the one why the world started to deteriorate. He stole The Heart of Te Fiti, the source of life and islands spread all across the ocean. Maui, who stole the Heart, guides Moana in her quest to become a master wayfinder and return back The Heart. They sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought, who she really is.

I had a chance to watch the movie and I think I had more questions than answers while watching it. I like how determined Moana to finish her missions and most of all, she does it for her parents and her people. At first it seems that only Maui can restore the Heart because he stole it many years ago. But once he gives up and leaves Moana because his fish hook is broken, I realized that Moana could save the world even without Maui. She could do it, but in the story they do it together. Their journey is not all smooth and has many ups and downs, so that Moana is almost to give up to help her family. In this journey when the girl does not even know what to do and even how to do it, a little hug and kind words can change everything.

The movie is filled with wonderful songs, they are really catchy and you want to her them over and over again. Enjoy great animation, colorful scenes and beautiful dancing. Moana is now playing in theatres across Canada.

As Canadian parents, we have big dreams for our kids to follow in the footsteps of most Canadians before them. Maybe just maybe you are the parent of the next Sydney Crosby, but you never know unless you invest all your money, time and give up your weekends for out of town tournaments. Our kids are smart, persistent and strong. Extracurricular activities can really add up in costs, especially if you have big dreams of going pro. Before your child becomes a superstar, you have to spend lots of time and money to support your child through the learning & training process. You may even need to get a second (or third) job.

Or you can put the money towards your child education by opening an RESP today and make all of their dreams for the future come true. An education is the best way to ensure your child’s success in the future and starting early saving for it will let your kids know you believed in their dreams even before they knew what they were.

​
#LetsTalkRESPs Twitter Party

We’re throwing a party! A virtual party. On Twitter. We’re gonna chat about your child’s future and extracurricular activities—like hockey—but also how to save for your child’s education.

We’re going to be giving away $100 for each question, plus more chances to win for RT’s and participation. New to Twitter parties? No problem, we made this blog for you!

Holiday season is fast approaching! It is the most wonderful time of the year filled with gifts, toys, family gatherings, delicious food and celebrations. We want to treat our loved ones with the best. While the abundance of gifts in stores can blow your mind, during your holiday shopping it is a good idea to consider warehouse sales around the city where you can find real treasures and buy presents paying much less.

Recently I had a chance to visit & shop at Pop! Events Group Toy and Gift Warehouse Sale. Pop! Events Group specializes in organizing corporate and public family events. Their expertise in toy industry is out of question as they meticulously choose toys and gifts for the events. The company definitely knows which gifts children want for holidays and, probably, secretly works for Santa Claus. Pop! Events Group annual Toy and Gift Warehouse Sale is the place you want to check. They sell a lot of kids favorite brands: Shopkins, Vtech, Spin Master, Mega Blocks, Hot Wheels, Hasbro, Melissa & Doug, Playskool, Mattel, Fashion Angels, Nerf, Zing, Crayola, Little People, Alex, Fisher-Price, Hexbug, Creativity for Kids, Infantino and much more. You can find many items for babies, preschoolers, school children and teens there. Disney and Barbie fans can get favorite toys and activity kits. There are various interesting products for creative minds from painting rocks to creating complex blocks.

The whole warehouse is very well organized based on toys, themes, characters and child age the products designed for. The rooms and tables are always kept clean and tidy. There are three major rooms: Sample Room, Last Sale Items and Major Room.
I suggest you first check Last Sale Items room where you can find the items like last one in series and heavily discounted. For example, I got Teddy TMNT Mega Blocks Turtle Ninja Michelangelo toy for $2 and a hair brush for just $1.

Then visit Sample Room, where you can find the items with a price tag on it, so you can get anything in with 40% off. These products there were in showrooms across Canada, so they are all pretty new items.

In Major Room you can find a wide selection of new toys and gifts. The best part, some of them already wrapped, so you can skip tedious wrapping and simply put a present under the tree. I bought Shopkins set, Star Wars figurines, Mega Blocks set and lots of crafts items.

Santa Claus is coming to town this Sunday. Being a tradition over a century, Toronto Santa Claus parade welcomes everyone to celebrate upcoming holiday season with Santa and his helpers. The number of floats and participants grow every year along with viewers who wait the whole year to see this popular parade. You can meet best of best there from famous stores to sports teams, schools and TV channels, all there to ignite the holiday spirit and bring joy to kids and adults. Tim Hortons, Metro, Toronto Maple Leafs, Canadian Tire, Disney, Nintendo, TreehouseTV and other great Santa Helpers will join Santa Parade this year.

The Parade will begin at Christie St. and Bloor St.W at 12:30 and go down along University Avenue and finish at St. Lawrence Market. It will last about 2.5 hours. It is good idea to come early to book your best viewing spot, about one million spectators want to watch the parade. The weather promises to be a little cool, so warm blanket, a chair and hot drinks will be very handy.

If you love running you can still join the annual Holly Jolly Fun Run! It’s just 5k and you’ll run along the same route as the Santa Claus Parade. Thousands will cheer you on as you show your festive spirit! The registration closes November 15.

This year I am happy to be a parade participant and walk with Disney float. Teddy is looking forward to meeting Santa and has his letter ready.

For all science fiction fans Disney XD introduces new series Mech-X4 this week-end. The series follows Ryan, a boy with the ability to control technology with his mind (called technopathy). He is given a 150-foot robot named Mech-X4 to defend the city against invading giant monsters. To help him control Mech-X4, Ryan recruits a team that includes his two best friends, Harris and Spyder, and the last person he’d ever want to team up with; his older brother Mark.

We watched the trailer and one preview episode with Teddy and he likes them a lot. According to the title it looks like a fiction but I ensure you can follow adventures of four boys as they encounter the situations and act as regular boys you can meet in every school. The series filled with lots of funny scenes and settings where technology and life meet together. Through the journey boys learn how to work together, rely on each other, tease pretty often, have fun and prove that they are great team with and without special skills. The production of Mech-X4 continues and currently the series are shooting in Vancouver. Hopefully we recognize familiar and popular city spots in the episodes.

The Mech-X4 series stars Nathaniel James Potvin, Kamran Lucas, Pearce Joza and Raymond Cham. The first episodes of Mech-X4 will air on November 12 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Disney XD.

The festive season is fast approaching, just in a month we greet the holidays with joy and excitement. It is always fun and everyone in our family is looking forward to it. Sometimes it is difficult to find a gift your loved one happy to get even with the abundance of them filled the stores. Children love new toys, technologies and creative gifts, but still can be picky in what they would love to receive for holidays.

This year we are happy to find out Poppit, new toys kids can play with and put their crafty hands on. These Poppittoys keep children busy for hours. They are sets based on various themes: baking, shopkins, pets and many other, so that every kid can find what he or she likes the most. Each set includes different moulds, clay, Poppit tool, stamps and lots of pieces to decorate. The main idea of Poppit is that you load the popper with clay, pop out your piece and then put together the pieces to finalize your mini creations. We received to play with Poppit Pop N Display Bakery Playset and Poppit Mini Puppies Starter Kit. It was totally fun and our boy was very excited to work with these sets.

With Poppit Mini Puppies Starter Kit you can create cute pets, cats and dogs, puppies and kittens. It is easy to work with clay and moulds, plus you can choose which clay color to use for your creation. How to accessorize a clay cutie is up to child’s imagination, they can add bows, gems or beads. The difference in moulds is that you can get 3D or 2D items. You can stick the clay pieces together using water with a special dropper included in every set, no glue required.

Poppit Pop N Display Bakery Playset gives kids opportunities to run own bakery shop and create make cupcakes, macaroons, doughnuts and cakes. There are even displays and shelves included in the set to show bakery items same as in a real bakery store but in a mini version. There are a whole set of moulds kids can play with along with accessories and décor items. I think Teddy likes the set mostly because he can create various mini bakery products and decorate how he wants. Every creation Teddy makes is unique. May be we will become a creative chef in the future, but learning now about layers and shapes.

Designed for children ages 5+, Poppit sets make wonderful gift this holiday season. The are available in a variety of stores, Toys R Us, Walmart, Sears, London Drugs, Michael's, Home Hardware, The Bay, Red Apple, The North West Company, TRUServ and Kidtoy.ca.

This week-end Marvel presented new movie "Doctor Strange" based on famous Marvel comics Doctor Stephen Strange, the Master of the Mystic. The movie follows world-famous successful neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange, whose life changes forever after a car accident which makes him unable to work with hands as before. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a mysterious place known as Kamar-Taj. Dr. Strange skeptical attitude and ability to learn fast helps him to move forward and more questions in regards his healing. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. I think they decided to choose Dr. Strange to save the world because initially in is in doctors nature to hep and save people, find the ways to do it better, react fast and work as a team. There is also another dcotor in the movie played by Rachel McAdams as Dr. Palmer. She is Dr.Strange ex-girlfriend and still ready to help Strange in any downfalls he experiences. You can see that Dr. Strange still has feelings for her, I think after the accident he starts appreciate and cherish the life he had before.

There are the whole mix of real and surreal things absolutely stunning. I had great experience watching the effects and movements along with fights and transformations thanks to 3D features and IMAX. And feeling dizzy at first when watching how Dr Strange works in the operation room. I also enjoyed the abilities of Dr. Strange and Kamar-Taj teachers and buddies to transform and teleport in various dimensions. Dr. Strange enemies are strong and powerful, but he uses his knowledge and wit to make it go his way. There are also many losses and betrayals, same as in real battles.

Here are some interesting facts in regard the movie shooting:

Steve Ditko’s comic book art influenced the environments that were created for the film.

When you watch the movie, you will notice that geometric patterns are present within the majority of sets.

Dr. Stephen Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch spent time with neurosurgeons, and the director, DP and production designer all visited New York City operating rooms and emergency rooms to guide them towards the lighting and textures they would need to create a realistic hospital environment onscreen.

Doctor Strange’s car in the film is a Lamborghini, which he drives when he is a surgeon. Six Lamborghinis were required for filming.

The Hong Kong street scenes, one of the most challenging action sequences ever undertaken by Marvel Studios, were shot in several stages of destruction, commencing with clean and gradually becoming destroyed. This is the opposite of how it will be shown on screen, as it goes from destroyed to clean. This meant everything had to be aged down, from shop signs to vehicles. To help create the destruction, 350 tons of real rubble was used.

"Doctor Strange" is now playing in theaters across Canada, I highly recommend to see in 3D IMAX, you can get unforgettable experience and get ready laugh, there are some pretty interesting jokes to hear. And last thing the movie rated PG-13 so it may be not good idea to take young children to the movie.

Based on the book by #1 New York Times bestselling author Eckhart Tolle and Robert Friedman, Milton’s Secret is a movie about family and the uncertain times families live in. Milton is a 12 year-old boy growing up in an economically and socially unpredictable world. His mother and father (Mia Kirshner, David Sutcliffe) are workaholics with marital and financial problems, and he is bullied at school. When his grandfather (Donald Sutherland) visits, Milton learns rehashing the past and worrying about the future are preventing him from finding true happiness.

Milton's mom, very smart and ambitious lady, works as Real Estate Agent and always worries about the future, how they are going to live and they may lose the house. Milton's dad is always on the phone not to miss an important call. The boy sees everyone on their own planet and often tells what is happening there, on Planet Fear or Planet Future. Trying to help his mom, Milton tries to make gold during multiple experiments after school with his friend, so that they can sell gold and do not worry any more about the future. The bully at school makes a nasty record of Milton and posts it on-line.

Everything falls apart for a young boy until Milton's grandfather comes to change everyone's life in his family. Mostly Granddad does not do anything complicated, he just shows what everyone should care for, how to enjoy every moment of your life happening right now.

The most symbolic is the gift given to Milton by his grandfather, it is a beaker, just a big empty beaker to fill with what you want to get for your life. If you fill the beaker with beauty it will be beautiful, if you fill the beaker with pain and hate, the life will be miserable.

Milton’s Secret premiered at this year’s Vancouver International Film Festival to a very enthusiastic audience. The movie was filmed in Canada: in Vancouver, Hamilton and Brampton (no Milton surprisingly). Milton’s Secret takes complex spiritual and philosophical ideas and turns them into an amazing, concise story of love, compassion and overcoming obstacles in a beautiful coming-of-age story. The film is released November 1st and now on available Amazon, iTunes and On-Demand.

We are happy to give away on copy of this inspiring movie to one our lucky Canadian reader thanks to eOneFilms. The giveaway ends November 20, 2016. Good Luck!
